Edward R. James Homes in Illinois
Edward R. James Homes built single-family and townhome communities across Chicago's northern and northwest suburbs, and the builder is no longer active in this market — every listing here today is a resale rather than a builder price sheet. The five subdivisions the company left behind include Asbury Place in Bartlett, Brighton Mews in Park Ridge, Southgate on the Glen and the larger Westgate at the Glen in Glenview, and Waterbury Place in Buffalo Grove. Asbury Place currently has a home listed near $410,000, giving buyers a sense of where resale pricing in these communities tends to land, though values shift with each listing. Anyone considering a purchase in these neighborhoods should expect mature trees and established landscaping, no builder-era HOA startup fees, and homes that are now years or decades past their original construction date, so a home inspection and a clear read on updates to mechanicals, roofing, and finishes matters more than it would in a new-construction sale. These are settled, walkable pockets of Bartlett, Buffalo Grove, Glenview, and Park Ridge rather than active building sites, and buyers here are typically drawn to the location and lot rather than a current builder relationship.
